CHORUS Forum: FAIR Data from Funding to Publication

CHORUS FORUM: FAIR Data from Funding to Publication AT JOSS 2021

18 June, 2021 – Free online meeting
10:00 – 11:30 AM Japan time
#CHORUSForum

Policies, guidelines and workflows for open research are being formulated and implemented across the scholarly communications ecosystem. Integral to this discussion is how to ensure the application of the FAIR (Findable, Accessible, Interoperable and Reusable) principles for research data. Researchers are obliged or recommended to develop data plans and deposit their data by the agencies that fund their research, their institutions, the journals in which they publish and by their peers.

This CHORUS Forum at JOSS 2021 brings together speakers involved in the steps along the way from funding, through publication and as a panel to discuss how data can be FAIR.

We thank the JOSS 2021 organizers for including this FORUM in their virtual meeting.
